Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

An audiojournal documenting my journey to become a TechnoWizard (or perhaps a TechnoAnarchoShaman). I want to help bring forth better futures for all. That means creating a world of worlds that is more sustainable, ecologically stable, spiritual, ancestral, accessible, communal, ambitious, magical, and anarchistic. This is a world where we are all richer than rich; where all needs are met, and we instead solve better problems on a grander scale.

The Environment changes, so should we.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/10/26

Pre-Holocene climate changed drastically. But roughly 11K years ago, the climate stabilized. I play around with the idea that the creation of agriculture and settled cultures is therefore not an 'advancement' but an adaptation. One in which is biased towards inequality. I suggest that perhaps we should rebalance that bias by being more open to the concept of completely changing our society rather than seeking cultural longevity through stagnation and consolidation of power. I also talk about how and

Building a better world through fiction and friendships

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/10/25

Today I talk a bit about Dune and why I didn't like it. I once again call for more positive sci-fi and other fiction that inspires people. I also share this idea about ensuring communities do not come at the expense of the individuals that create it. We should be making friends, not just communities. https://raddle.me/wiki/friendship and here's the video about singing sand dunes: https://youtu.be/WWrb1iyCLlI

Currency without Scarcity or Greed - The importance...

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/10/23

Today I share an idea around how to design currency more purposefully through the belief in abundance and community (a Great Mother) as opposed to greed and scarcity (a Great Father). I probably got some of this wrong, but I think the core ideas are quite impactful.

Today is my first day at my new job!! I talk a little about that, and I also discuss the progress I've finally made with newsletter. I discuss why spoilers are actually not that bad, and my history/life obsession with wanting to change the world.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/10/14

Today I ramble about a number of topics from feelings to comedy to anthropology to urban planning. How can we identify less with feelings and more with people? Can memory (of living alongside different humanoid species) be passed down over the ages? Why are people so 'sensitive' and get 'offended' with comedy? How can we reimagine our neighborhoods and cities to be more walkable and communal?

What if we could build games (and virtual worlds in general) that are as immersive, complex, and interactive as the real world.. or even more so? Could it spark a new age of creativity, imagination, and actionable optimism?
